Double Fine made Brutal Legend free for a fitting 666 minutes in tribute to Tim Curry, who played the game's antagonist

In honor of Tim Curry, Double Fine made its heavy metal hack-and-slash RTS Brutal Legend free for 666 minutes.

While he's best known for his live-action roles in films like The Rocky Horror Picture Show and It, Tim Curry – who sadly passed away earlier this week at the age of 80 – was a prolific voice actor. And while his role in the likes of Jimmy Neutron and The Wild Thornberrys are naturally beloved, his relatively fewer video game roles are iconic in their own right. Of course, his turn as Premier Anatoly Cherdenko in Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 is huge, partly thanks to his incredible pronunciation of "space"; his role as the villain of the Jack Black-led action game Brutal Legend is one I'll always remember him for.
